DESCRIPTION

The QAxBindable class provides an interface between a QWidget and an ActiveX client.

The functions provided by this class allow an ActiveX control to communicate property changes to a client application. Inherit your control class from both QWidget (directly or indirectly) and this class to get access to this class's functions. The meta object compiler requires you to inherit from QWidget first.

    class MyActiveX : public QWidget, public QAxBindable


    {


        Q_OBJECT


        Q_PROPERTY( int value READ value WRITE setValue )


    public:


        MyActiveX( QWidget *parent = 0, const char *name = 0 );


        ...




        int value() const;


        void setValue( int );


    };

When implementing the property write function, use requestPropertyChange() to get permission from the ActiveX client application to change this property. When the property changes, call propertyChanged() to notify the ActiveX client application about the change. If a fatal error occurs in the control, use the static reportError() function to notify the client.

Use the interface returned by clientSite() to call the ActiveX client. To implement additional COM interfaces in your ActiveX control, reimplement createAggregate() to return a new object of a QAxAggregated subclass.  

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

QAxBindable::QAxBindable ()

QAxBindable::~QAxBindable () [virtual]

IUnknown * QAxBindable::clientSite () const [protected]

Call QueryInterface() on the returned interface to get the interface you want to call.  

QAxAggregated * QAxBindable::createAggregate () [virtual]

The default implementation returns the null pointer.  

void QAxBindable::propertyChanged ( const char * property ) [protected]

This function is usually called at the end of the property's write function.

See also requestPropertyChange().  

void QAxBindable::reportError ( int code, const QString & src, const QString & desc, const QString & context = QString::null ) [static]

bool QAxBindable::requestPropertyChange ( const char * property ) [protected]

This function is usually called first in the write function for property, and writing is abandoned if the function returns FALSE.

    void MyActiveQt::setText( const QString &text )


    {


        if ( !requestPropertyChange( "text" ) )


            return;




        // update property




        propertyChanged( "text" );


    }

See also propertyChanged().
